AUX CHANNELS
The Aux channels can operate as additional servo channels, or as a power supply for a
personal transponder.
If AVC is active, only 4 channels; Steering, Throttle, AUX3 and AUX4 are operational.
The remaining Aux channels can be used to power a personal transponder or lights.
If AVC is disabled (see DISABLING THE STABILITY ASSIST FUNCTION), all 6 channels
including the Aux channels can operate as servo channels.
